the final weekend of Ontario Women\u2019s League rugby play.<br \/>\nThe Barbs faced off against the Niagara Wasps in the bronze medal matchup on Saturday at Fletcher\u2019s Field, a week after a heartbreaking loss to the Guelph Redcoats in the semifinal that saw them fall one point short.<br \/>\nThey returned to the pitch on Saturday with vigor, posting a total of twelve tries to Niagara\u2019s one, with the score reading 76 \u2013 5 by the final whistle.<br \/>\nAurora last lifted the OWL Cup in 2016 when they defeated the Toronto Saracens, who bested the Barbs in a championship rematch last year.<br \/>\nIt was once again Toronto heading to the final on Saturday, this time facing Guelph, who they beat handily 46 \u2013 36 for their second title in two years.<br \/>\nWinning the second-tier division was the Guardian Angels rugby program, a first-year team affiliated with the Barbarians, who came out on top 39 \u2013 17 over the Saracens.<br \/>\nThe Aurora men, who completed their season with a 4-6-0 record in late July, will play in the McCormick Cup tournament in late September.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share
